"I love peace, and am anxious that..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“The cement of this union is in the heart blood of every American. I do not believe there is on earth a government established on so immovable a basis.”

“The protection of our citizens, the spirit and honor of our country, requirethat force should be interposed to a certain degree.”

“The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.”

“Not one of us can rest, be happy, be at home, be at peace with ourselves, until we end hatred and division.”

“Tread softly, Brathe peacefully, Laugh hysterically.”

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”

“By ahimsa we will be able to save the cow and also win the friendship of the English.”

“There are no people in the world who are so slow to develop hostile feelings against a foreign country as the Americans, and no people who, once estranged, are more difficult to win back.”

“Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at.”
